Several horses I'm not sure about.

Post by Hidalgo »

I'm pretty horrible with colors if they get more complicated than bay, chestnut, etc, so some help would be much appreciated :)

Phoenix

I suppose he's a wild bay, maybe? I've never had a bay this red before, though.

Quicksilver

Silver seal brown?

Captain


Moon Moon


Periwinkle

I thought she was a flaxen chestnut, but I think she has some dun markings, and I wasn't sure if the lighter mane and tail were actually a silver gene, which her dam seems to have.

Mr. Fox


Sequoia

Sorry about all the tack, he's entered in the best dressed horse contest, so you may have to look at earlier photos. I think he might be a metallic bay dun?

Celtic Thunder

Sooty Perlino Tigereye?

Dawn


Peregrine

Smokey Cream Tigereye?

Smokestack

Phoenix is bay. Bay can range in color from very bright red to almost black.

Quicksilver is smoky brown silver: brown + 1x cream + silver.

Captain is black silver.

Moon Moon is silver grullo.

Periwinkle is flaxen red dun. Silver does not show on chestnuts.

Mr. Fox is silver brown dun.

Sequoia is bay dun.

Celtic Thunder is perlino. His eyes are blue because he is double cream, not because of tiger eye.

Dawn is silver perlino.

Peregrine is brown cream. Again, the blue eyes are caused by double cream rather than tiger eye.

Smokestack is smoky brown dun: brown + 1xcream + dun.
